sad you are unaware that the constitition does compel the executive to honor the "law of nations" ergo INTERNATIONAL LAW (which funny enough the U.S. was the primary advocate for writing/advocating for Human rights treaties AND it invokes whenever it wants to be justified in dropping a few bombs in the name of freedom)

you condemn the Court for finally recognizing it's role is to check/balance the exec power & ensure the government is comlying by the international laws it has adopted via the ratification process (you know when the senate has to vote & say yes we agree to be bound by the treaty between nations)
finally, when the U.S. is wronged, it also goes to the international courts for remedies (see iran hostages--compelling other countries to abide by international law/treaties)
